"What I said today is all true. I came to you specifically to ask for your help in convincing Xiao Shuangbao to come back with me. But if you are unwilling to do me this favor, I will explain everything to Xiao Shuangbao, and she will definitely be willing to go back to Beirong with me."
Yun Wuyao finally said this.
After hearing this, Ling Ge felt somewhat relieved.
The only thing he was worried about was the safety of little Shuangbao.
Jing Xi frowned, and a hint of thought appeared on his silent face.
Ling Ge glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Does His Highness the Ninth Prince have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Xi also looked up at him, and then said lightly: "Little Shuangbao is the most noble Princess Lingfu of our Dongqi Kingdom. If she goes to Beirong, even if your Yun family dares not touch her because of her status as a Saint Maiden candidate, what about other forces?
“It’s true that the government of your Northern Rong is controlled by the aristocratic families, and it’s also true that the Yun family is the most powerful. However, the Yun family has been on a downward spiral, and it’s also true that the other aristocratic families are eyeing it covetously.
"How could they allow the Saint to return to the Yun Family if they want to ascend to the throne themselves?
"So, Xiao Shuangbao's days in Beirong will definitely be turbulent. It doesn't mean that she will be safe just because your Yun family won't kill her."
After Jing Xi's analysis, he immediately dispelled the slight hesitation in Ling Ge's heart.
He said without hesitation: "If that's the case, then we can't let Xiao Shuangbao return to the Yun family!"
"But if Xiao Shuangbao doesn't go back, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the secret of her father from her for long. She's very good at calculating and observing people's expressions. She'll find out sooner or later. This is about her father, she won't just ignore it like this."
However, Jing Xi said again.
Ling Ge couldn't help but frown.
"So, according to you, Xiao Shuangbao must return to Beirong? But if that's the case, how can you be assured of her safety?"
"There's always a way."
When Jing Xi said this, he actually already had an idea in mind.
He immediately looked at Yun Wuyao.
Yun Wuyao suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. The little prince in front of him, who was only about nine years old, was so cunning that even he, an adult, could not compare with him.
"It's not impossible for Little Shuangbao to go to your Beirong Kingdom and return to the Yun family, but there are two conditions."
Next, Jing Xi spoke in a calm tone.
"What conditions? You said, as long as Xiao Shuangbao can return to the Yun family, our Yun family can agree to any conditions!"
Yun Wuyao immediately said without hesitation.
This was also what the elders of the Yun family specifically told him before he left the Yun family, that he must bring Xiao Shuangbao back at all costs, even including sacrificing Yun Wuchen's life.
"First, the Northern Rong Kingdom needs to exchange a hostage to the Eastern Qi Kingdom."
Jing Xi's words were spoken in a calm tone, but Ling Ge's eyes immediately lit up. Yun Wuyao's scalp tightened, thinking to himself, "As expected! He's quite cunning!"
Jing Xi continued, "This hostage must be the most outstanding successor that other noble families in Beirong Kingdom are currently cultivating. He must be used as the exchange."
Yun Wuyao listened to his words and agreed without hesitation: "Okay! What's the other condition?"
Jing Xi glanced at him and continued, "I want to go too."
"Why?" Ling Ge immediately said with some disapproval. "Beirong sent a hostage, and Dongqi sent a little Shuangbao, which is fine, but you, as a prince, still want to go? You are Emperor Chengxuan's favorite little prince. I think he intends to train you to become the crown prince of Dongqi in the future!"
When Yun Wuyao heard this, he looked at Jing Xi in shock.
I really didn't expect that this little prince would be so valued by Emperor Chengxuan.
However, this prince is indeed quite intelligent. He is so cunning at such a young age. What will happen when he grows up?
At this time, Jing Xi shook his head and said calmly, "That's exactly why I want to go. If anything goes wrong in the future and Beirong intends to use Xiao Shuangbao to do something, with me as the prince here, Dongqi will have enough reason to send troops to rescue her. With me here, I have orthodox royal bloodline and can also shut up the other ministers. Then, Xiao Shuangbao will not be left alone and helpless!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!
No one could have imagined that he would disregard his own safety for little Shuangbao!
